VI VED JO HVORDAN DET ER AT VÆRE MENNESKE er et enestående kig ind i hoved, hjertekule og hylster på en af Danmarks mest markante, nysgerrige og alsidige skuespillere. Et opgør med den gamle traver om et fag, hvis aktører er for nærige og hemmelighedsfulde til at give noget af sig selv. Det er en bog om at gøre brug af andres fortælling - de virkelige væsners såvel som de fiktives. En bog om at tage sig selv op til revision. En bog om rollerne og om livet indimellem. En bog om det, vi har til fælles: At være menneske og historiefortæller.

Das abenteuerliche Leben der Sehnsuchtsbilder von Caspar David Friedrich – mitreißend erzählt von Florian Illies. Kein deutscher Maler löst solche Emotionen aus wie Caspar David Friedrich: Seine abendlichen Himmel sind bis heute Ikonen der Sehnsucht, er inspirierte Samuel Beckett zu "Warten auf Godot" und Walt Disney zu "Bambi" – Goethe jedoch machte die rätselhafte Melancholie seiner Bilder so wütend, dass er sie auf der Tischkante zerschlagen wollte.

Life with Picasso, written with Carlton Lake, is about Picasso the artist and Picasso the man. We hear him talking about painting and sculpture, his life, his career, as well as other artists, both contemporaries and old masters. We glimpse Picasso in his many and volatile moods, dismissing his work, exultant over his work, entertaining his various superstitions, being an anxious father. But Life with Picasso is not only a portrait of a great artist; it is also a picture of a talented young woman of exacting intelligence at the outset of her own notable career.

We've heard the name "Condoleezza Rice" over and over again as the spokesperson for President George W. Bush in matters of national security and foreign affairs. She presented a balanced, firm, unafraid presence to the country after the terrible events of September 11, 2001, as she spoke to the media and the public on behalf of the President.

Skeptical artist Tokeli falls down a flight of stairs and rips open the "real world." Her recovery is marked by high strangeness. She lands in an all-white Egg.

By the third night, a thunderous rupture opens in the bedroom ceiling and something ancient steps through the portal.

In meinem Erzählungszyklus „Die sieben Leben des Seian Kobuschka" beschreibe ich rückblickend anregende, interessante, aber auch kuriose Begegnungen mit Menschen, die ich ein Stück ihres Lebensweges begleiten konnte, und von denen ich einige auch zu meinen Freunden zählen durfte. Diese poetischen Erinnerungen zeigen oft auch sehr private Facetten jener Personen und dokumentieren durch ihre mitunter gewagten, individuellen Einfärbungen die schaurig-schöne Stimmungssituation innerhalb, aber auch ein wenig außerhalb der Wiener Kunstszene der 80er und 90er Jahre.
